hey, someone can tell me how to change it? its for Milestone, I wanna change it to white.
I think it uses global resources, meaning that while it can be changed you might change all of the notification colors. Unless you want to re-write music.apk that is...
someone more familiar with the music might be able to provide a better answer, but I'm sure it's sharing resources including notification color with the rest of the system.

One of the reasons i love android so much is the ability to customize your phone. What id like to know is whether or not there is any way to change the color of the application icons?

Hello fellow Ontarian... I don't think you can just change the colour of the icons without extracting and actually making an icon pack with your edited icons. Once you do that, then you can use what I use to change the icons. I use Folder Organizer. There's also Bettercut. Here's an example of the icon pack I use.

BTW, no need to be rooted to change these icons.
Thanks man im going to give it a shot. Im trying to learn a bit more about apk files and fidling with them. But, just the same im glad there is an easy solution.
Cheers,

I would like to change the background and text color for the settings menu in 2.1. by default it's white on black and I want the opposite. I know it has to do with changing a certain xml. I'm just not sure which program will do it as well as possible work on compiling and permissions. I prefer to flash it opposed to pushing files. any help is greatly appreciated

I've installed/customized a theme exactly as I want with Black status bar, and black pulldown background with white text. I properly Deodexed and used the compatible services.jar, however, the following events still show up with black text in the dropdown list:
-In-Call timer status
-Download Progress
-Any item that is an event in progress
I've tried 4 different services.jar and all of them had the same problem, I tried editing the status bar XML files, only to have the phone refuse to load.
I notice 90% of themes leave the dropdown tabs gray, and I assume this is the reason, but does anyone have the files necessary to make all text in the dropdown white?
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk I can give this a go. I'm pretty sure this is in the /res/layout/status_bar_latest_notification.xml file or something titled similiarly.
Anyways.... I can give you some help if wanted...
I've attached my framework-res.apk, let me know what you can do. Thank You!
No problem. I will give this a go after work.

In looking at your framework...is this the current framework that you thought SHOULD have the white text? Or a unmodified framework. In looking at it...it looks like the text should be white... At least from what theming I have done... You have white (ffffff) set in the correct places for the dropdown notification bar in /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.
What ROM/theme are you using? Also are you on the 2.3.34 update? i'm still on 2.3.15... So I don't want to throw a framework on my phone that may cause issues =?
If you can give me some more info... I was digging through it tonight.
Thanks
I am using the 2.3.340 firmware, standard rom but rooted and deodexed.
I used that exact framework with 2.3.15 with the same issue. My theme is nearly perfect except for that, so it's kind of annoying.
Hm... I'll keep looking over it. So this current framework SHOULD have white text but didn't?
Try also looking at the styles.xml and colors.xml in the /res/layout folder. I.m winning if things need to match up and something in one of those files is overwriting your white color

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the services.jar hold the information to change the colors in the drop down events?

I'm pretty sure it just controls color for the clock, ticker, and the "titles" for the sections in the drop-down such as "latest" or "ongoing". It doesn't actually change the text color of notifications in the drop down.
Can u help me too
I had this issue with derezzed too, a lot of ongoing event text colors are controlled by each individual application (something I saw with dropbox and facebook uploads) so the options are to either customize each application as you get it, ignore the unreadable text, or simply change the .png to a different color that provides a similar feel while being able to read black text... or another artsy thing would be to use rounded corners to make each notification look like an individual bubble instead of a continuous pane
edit:
totally didnt see how old this post was... oops

If you have some basic theming skills, you can virtually mod any png in the framework_res.apk of your phone.. I am in no means a dev or themer and i was still able to change lockscreen and status bar within like 10 mins, no lie
Does anyone know what file I need to edit to make the notification drop down more transparent? I'm running Embryo 3.2, and I believe that it's one of the framework files from the S3 launcher, but I'm not sure which one.
I want to make some edits to customize it more for my own liking.
An additional question...does anyone know the color code for ICS Blue?
Anyone? This is really driving me nuts. I'm looking through all of the files that I think have the right PNGs in them, and I see some that seem to fit the right names/images, though I wish I knew which ones controlled which images. Some look like they should, in terms of the filename, but don't match what I'm seeing...
I miss the old days
Surely the S2 forums contain an answer, I would imagine at least.
It's not the usual system ui, tw, and framwork res huh?

It might be, but I can't seem to find the right files. For example, the only close PNG I see is nowhere near what I see on my own phone. With the presence of those 3 files (and perhaps more) I don't know which one I should edit.
Its in the xml's

So I have to edit the XML's now to theme my phone?
Wow...when did that change. I used to be able to change the PNGs and re-insert them into the apk files with no problems...
XML is what declares color and transparancy of status bar if memory serves its been that way on most phones for a long time

Not looking to theme the status bar itself, just the notification dropdown and the icons on the status bar.
On my Droid 1, you had to edit the Services.jar if you wanted to change the color of the status bar itself, but it was a simple png edit within framework-res.apk if you wanted to change the dropdown color/transparency or any of the icons up there (signal, wifi, etc).
That's correct I misinterpreted what you were trying to do that's my bad

You need to be looking in SystemUI. apk, that's where notification drop down background and quick panel icons live.
Btw, there are many duplicates, original ics and tw versions.
